Jack Posobiec argued that what he calls “fifth wave toxic feminism” and cultural Marxism have contributed to a broader political and cultural tendency to reverse the roles of victims and offenders, pointing to arguments surrounding the Tyler Robinson trial and the killing of Charlie Kirk.
“What has caused this corrosion? Well, it’s caused by feminism, and particularly fifth wave toxic feminism,” Posobiec said.
Posobiec argued that the ideology extends beyond politics and can affect workplaces, personal relationships and other areas of society.
He said people who subscribe to it view interactions through an oppressor-versus-oppressed framework.
“Because this is the way that cultural Marxism works,” Posobiec said.
“They view all of society through the oppressed versus oppressor lens, and what they’re doing is they’re going through every single facet of society to try to point out that one is an oppressor, one is oppressed, and in doing so, they consistently flip victim and offender.”
Posobiec connected that argument to the Tyler Robinson trial, where he criticized arguments from defense attorney Mr. Novak concerning Kirk’s speech.
Posobiec characterized the defense presentation as an attempt to transform Kirk from the victim into the offender.
“What did we see yesterday in the Tyler Robinson trial? Well, I’ll tell you what we saw. We saw the flipping of victim and offender,” Posobiec said.
“Suddenly, Tyler Robinson wasn’t the offender. Suddenly, according to Mr. Novak, suddenly Charlie Kirk was the offender because Charlie was using hate speech.”
Posobiec said the argument reflects a broader progressive belief that harmful speech can itself constitute violence.
He cited previous comments by Dr. Chloe Carmichael concerning why politically motivated attackers might place written messages on ammunition.
“Because remember, remember, what does the left And again, Mr. Novak, he’s making the progressive argument here. What do they always say? Words are violence,” Posobiec said.
Posobiec also referenced language he said had appeared on ammunition, including “Hey, fascist, catch” and “Bella ciao, bella ciao,” arguing that the combination of political messages and physical violence reflected the ideology he was describing.
“This is part of the pathology,” Posobiec said.
Posobiec took particular issue with what he described as Novak’s characterization of Kirk’s speech during the proceedings.
“He said it is true. It is true, is what Mr. Novak said,” Posobiec said.
“Mr. Novak said that it is true that Charlie committed hate speech. It is true that Charlie spoke hatefully, that he spoke hate, and perhaps my client was simply referring to that hate when he said, Some hate can’t just can’t be argued out.”
Posobiec described the broader tactic using the acronym DARVO, which stands for deny, attack and reverse victim and offender.
“DARVO: deny, attack, and then reverse victim and offender,” Posobiec said.
He argued that the same pattern appears in other political and cultural controversies. Posobiec referenced Lindsay Clancy before returning to the reaction surrounding Kirk’s killing.
“So we see it with the feminists and Lindsay Clancy, now we’re seeing it again,” Posobiec said.
Posobiec also criticized Hasan Piker and former President Barack Obama, accusing them of using rhetoric that shifted attention toward Kirk’s own statements following his death.
“We heard it with Hasan Piker, who said this about Charlie,” Posobiec said.
“We heard Barack Obama certainly imply it when he brought up Charlie’s comments on thoughtcrime completely out of context. We heard Barack Obama do the exact same trick.”
Posobiec said those examples demonstrate what he considers a consistent political strategy in which responsibility is shifted away from an offender and toward the person harmed.
“These people only have one playbook: they will shoot you on live TV and they will go up and then tell everyone that it was your own fault,” Posobiec said.
With the anniversary of Kirk’s death approaching, Posobiec argued that the political and cultural implications of the case remain significant.
“We are one week away from Charlie’s anniversary, and people still don’t understand what time it is, and they’re still letting these people get away, literally, with murder in this case, in both of these cases,” Posobiec said.
